Foursquare 6.0 for iOS Adds New Discovery and Recommendation Features

According to the official blog, Foursquare has logged over 3.5 billion check-ins and gone through many evolutions since its inception back in 2009. Any faithful user will tell you Foursquare is more than just telling people where you are. As a result, the app has added so many layers to the app that one may find it challenging to simply find a spot to check-in.

The latest 6.0 version for iOS (catches up to its Android brethren) was recently announced and looks to change that by letting users quickly find the best of what's nearby. Based on crunching billions of check-in across the globe, Foursquare can now give you insights on the most interesting things in your area as soon as you open the app. This can help when you're not familiar with your current location. You can open the app and quickly make a decision on where you want go go.

If you have a particular spot you're looking for, version 6.0 has also given the "Explore nearby" search bar more prominent placing, making it easy to start typing in what you're looking for upon opening the app. You can either type in actual location names, or type in categories, or even foods to quickly see search results.

An earlier update to Foursquare also gives users the ability to quickly check-in to a spot via "tap & hold" on the location's name, if you don't want to mess around with adding images or captions. These and many more options (like suggestions based on current check-ins) are ready for iPhone & Android - No Windows Phone 8 or BlackBerry 10 announcements, boo.
